NC-100A Digital Conversion Unit

These measuring instruments convert the output of strain gage sensors into digital signals. By installing near a sensor, they suppress noise effects on sensor output while digitization enables long-distance transmission. Channels: 1

Description

Features

  • Easily digitize sensor signals
  • Installed near the sensor
  • Wide input range (±7.5 mV/V)
  • Lightweight (Approx. 100 g)
